    We eventually talked to a few dev teams, including the folks at syndicode.com. What stood out to me wasn’t some flashy pitch, but how they broke down the idea into phases and risks. It made me realize custom doesn’t have to mean “giant risky project.” In our case, building only the core modules we actually needed made more sense than replacing everything. Still, I’d say it depends heavily on how stable your business model is. If things change every month, custom can feel heavy. If your workflow is clear and unique, it can actually simplify life.
